LaborFest

Schedule:

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm: LaborFest Writers Group – Reading at Bird and Beckett

Readers from the group share poetry, memoir, fiction and nonfiction during a live event at the renowned San Francisco bookstore – Bird and Beckett. Your chance to hear rabble-rousers, activists, leftist radicals, union members, immigrants, native-born and plain old trouble-makers read from their work.

LaborFest Writers Group was formed in 2005 to honor labor and working people, and to provide a platform for writing that might otherwise go unheard. Their work gives voice to what has gone before and why we must confront new technologies that threaten to undermine our livelihood and rights. Their anthology, aptly titled "Giving Voice" reflects this mission.

Current members of the group:  Keith David Cooley, Margaret Cooley, Susan Ford, Jerry Path, Alice Rogoff, Robert Rubino and Nellie Wong.

Location: Bird & Beckett, 653 Chenery St
